Growing urban population and large-scale industrialization have significantly increased municipal solid waste across the globe in the last few decades. Generally, municipal solid waste is treated by dumping it in landfills. Development of such landfills involves large area of land. This leads to numerous environmental problems. Hence, several countries are replacing traditional landfills with technologies such as incineration, recycling, pyrolysis, and gasification to treat such waste. These technologies have reduced the level of environmental pollution significantly. Incineration is commonly adopted by waste management and waste treatment plants in several countries. In a typical land incineration plant, municipal solid waste is burned under controlled environment. The heat generated as a result of burning is transferred to a waste-to-energy plant. These plants utilize the heat to generate electricity. However, bottom ash produced as a by-product from a land incineration plant is primarily utilized in cement plants for the production of cement. A land incineration plant is equipped with incinerators, waste receipt and handling systems, combustion systems, heat recovery systems (boilers), air pollution control systems, and combustion solid residue handling systems. Incinerators play a major role in a land incineration plant. These reduce the mass of municipal solid waste by almost 80% and volume by 90%, depending upon the composition of waste and the degree of recovery of materials post incineration. Various types of incinerators are available in the market including fluidized bed incinerator, rotary kiln incinerator, static hearth incinerator, moving grate incinerator, and static furnace and multiple hearth incinerator. Depending upon the capacity of incineration per day, land incineration plants are classified into two types: small & medium capacity plants and large capacity plants. Governments and other local authorities across the globe are promoting the development of land incineration plants by offering various funding schemes such as capital grants, prudential borrowing, and waste infrastructure (WI) credits. Introduction of higher landfill tax by several countries such as the U.K. and New Zealand is also driving the development of such plants globally. However, traditional land incineration plants have attracted a lot of public opposition in the form of protests in several regions primarily due to emission of flue gas. This acts as a major challenge for the development of land incineration plants. However, modern land incineration plants have adopted several advanced and sustainable technologies that have decreased emission of flue gas. These technologies are anticipated to provide newer opportunities to market participants and plant developers in the near future.

The land incineration plants market has been analyzed in terms of capacity (Million tons) and revenue (US$ Mn). Additionally, the market has been segmented on the basis of plant capacity (small & medium capacity and large capacity) and geography. Large capacity land incineration plants held the largest share of the land incineration plants market in terms of installed capacity in 2014.

In terms of geography, the land incineration plants market has been segmented into four regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. Europe was the largest market for land incineration plants, followed by Asia Pacific and North America, in 2014. The market in Rest of the World is expected to witness significant growth in the near future due to evolving anti-landfills and anti-dumping regulations. Rapid commercialization, increasing energy demand, and supporting regulations in several countries including China and the U.K. are the major drivers of the development of land incineration plants. Key developers in the land incineration plants market include Suez Environment Company, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., Martin GmbH für Umwelt-und Energietechnik, Hitachi Zosen Inova AG, Doosan Lentjes GmbH, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC), and Keppel Seghers Engineering Singapore Pte, Ltd.
